Actually there’s dozens of really good free / open source apps that can do that. Let’s face it, forgetting to flatten the edited version is not a technical problem. It’s a laziness one.

I really don't think these things are as connected as you want them to be.

His face is so annoying to look at

Fake news. Adobe would never tell you if you're paying for an "idle" account.

What's insanely stupid about all of this is there's no way that doge knew that those accounts were inactive. Their definition of inactive will have been, it hasn't been used in 31 days. Since that's an easy metric to pull up.

But so what? There are licenced applications that I use at work that are only used once every two to three months. There js stuff that I only need in January, February and March because it's related to mitigating problems caused by poor weather conditions, outside of those months the weather is usually pretty mild.

So I guarantee that they caused a wave of IT support tickets a couple of weeks later from people that now needed to use the applications and had found that they had been there removed, without anyone talking to the relevant parties.

Does anyone know if there's any open-source Linux software that does redactions just like Acrobat?

Edit: Thanks a lot for your suggestions! Will check them out later 🙂

Why are govts using Adobe or anything made by the private sector is beyond me.

Jesus. I've administrated a bunch of Adobe accounts in various ways and it's not always straight forward to tell what licenses are in use and by whom. These pencil necked fucktards thought they somehow knew better than the government IT guys, what's in use and what isn't....

Incredible.

In any case, I'm glad their eating their own chow. They made this bed and now hopefully, they're about to get fucked in it.

I somehow doubt it, but I can dream Harold.

First thing to be thankful of proprietary software for?

Pedophiles can't redact pdf files?

Tbf, I feel like this ain't why the government failed at redactions, but the the thought of it being true is very amusing.
